I’m a little surprised to see so many people in this thread defending what appears to be an objectively negative change for consumers. As some have mentioned, it’s pedantic to say that Beyond’s a la carte options were “microtransactions” because they were small dollar value purchases. A la...

Looking at it again, I agree the DriveThru page isn’t really clear. I hadn’t looked closely since I backed the Kickstarter, which clearly described the different books. I did a quick look on the Discord and it appears that Schwalb will be updating the back cover blurb to explicitly reference...

Secrets of the Weird Wizard (the GM and Monster book) is part of the same Kickstarter. It’s currently in layout and is expected to release in PDF in just a couple months.

I really enjoyed Art and Arcana, so was excited to pick up Lore and Legends. Overall, I was disappointed. It felt more like I was reading a product catalog put out by WotC than a history of 5th edition told through its artwork. There were parts that triggered nostalgia, like reading back to...

I’m sorry if I’ve missed it somewhere in this thread, but a couple of posters have mentioned that the GPL 2.0 has been held to be irrevocable despite saying only that it was perpetual. Does anyone know what case(s) decided this issue?

The D&D reference is the poster of the cover of the 5e Player’s Handbook hanging on the wall in the background of the apartment where Kate is trying on her “Viking” costume and where Clint comes to pick up the trick arrows.

Yeah, I’m a little surprised by a lot of the initial reactions in this thread. I thought this trailer (and the first trailer for the movie last year) looks amazing. I’m very excited for a new Batman disconnected from the DCEU and will probably go opening weekend.

There are already threads here discussing the metallic dragonborn, drakewarden, and moonstone dragon too.

If I were to recommend the fewest number of books for someone new to 4e to play, I’d recommend the Monster Vault for your monster book and the Dungeon Master’s Kit for your dungeon master’s guide. These are both products from the essentials line, and as such, they incorporate all of the updated...

Besides Page 42, skill challenges, and rituals / martial practices, 4e characters also got a lot of mileage out of just the basic skill system. Every skill had lots of player-empowering options, and each included multiple examples of creative ways to improvise using your skills. A character...

Volo's Guide to Monsters for me

I’ll echo everyone else and say the art is top notch. Is that Calastryx on the cover?

I haven't tried it with video chat (you can definitely do screen share + audio chat, though). This site seems to say that you can do video chat + screen share (Discord Screen Share and Video call: A Complete, 10-Step Guide). It sounds like you're able to toggle between seeing people's faces and...

As best as I can tell, there isn't any way to get around your first three bullet points. But I was able to run video chat through Discord with my group while also accessing our text server with dice rolling through Avrae. What I did was start a group video chat, and then just click on your...

This is amazing! I'm literally speechless at how helpful this is! I really appreciate how you've been able to take a bunch of my jumbled thoughts and iron them out into a cohesive timeline. I also really appreciate that you've tried to incorporate everything I was already worked on. The crystal...
